wanted to get someone their present before they fly off again because they're not coming home for christmas this year. found nice things online at quirks . made up my mind on: 2 gifts, 1 thing for the house and 1 thing for my wall. signed up last weekend. received the activation/invitation email monday . checked out and paid monday night . on tuesday before noon , received email asking if i wanted to pick another design or receive a refund for one item that was sold out -- i chose another design. tuesday evening , received tracking info. wednesday morning (today) the package is here! seamless transaction with quirks. excellent. quirks used xend. i believe packages sent through xend have been delivered to my house the next day. they're good.

Recent blood test results were normal apart from being slightly hypo on fasting blood sugar (that I was made to believe was not a cause for concern). The point is lipid profile was all good so we called it in to ask if it was ok to reduce the statin (been on 20mg od since March) but people were distracted on the phone so we didn't get straight answers. Now, me thinks I'll be on it for a very long time. Poor kidneys.

last week... someone's tablet froze and they asked me to fix it. "no problem," i said. i held the power button down until it shut off (pressed longer than 10 secs). they were relieved and grabbed the tablet. i said, "no, please wait." a few seconds later, it turned on by itself, good to go. "you can take it now," i said. hard restart. the bidet spray was dripping at the head. i unscrewed the head and squeezed the trigger. water gushed out, pushing rubber out too. so, the rubber was loose. we turned the water valve off. i gingerly patted the parts dry and tightly put it back together. we turned the water on. i held my breath, squeezed the trigger (water ran ok) and then released it (water stopped running). no leaks. high-five.
